The award for most creative comment goes to brokenrtwing, who shared a Night Before Christmas parody:

Twas the night of the Presidential Election, and all through the house,
Not an M-Live Republican keyboard was active, not even the mouse,
The Romney banners were all hung, on the windows with care,
In hopes of a victory, even though there was not a prayer,
Fernster, Spam76 and USAluver were all nestled all snug in their beds,
With visions of Romney etched in their head,
With mom in her kerchief, and I in my Obama hat,
We'd just settled in, to watch the evening of chat,
When there on the screen there arose such a chatter,
I sprang from my chair, it seemed nothing else mattered,
away to the TV, I ran like a flash,
turned up the volume and stared with a gasp,
There the neon was glowing, ever so quickly,
It said we had won, already a victory,
Fox news has it wrong, it wasn't even close,
Like a walk in the park, we even could coast,
But I heard Hannity exclaim as he cried through the night,
Those M-Live Republicans, sure put up a fight....

No hard feelings guys, now let's all get on board,
and get something done....

Reader haminov chimed in on coverage of Obama's win with this comment:

Well citizens, it's official. We have a winner! Let's see what you have won.You have won MORE GOVERNMENT..yeah! You have won MORE SPENDING! Yeah! You have won MORE GREEN! Yeah! (That won't be in the form of money,of course, just more cost for your utilities) You have won MORE TAXES! Yeah! You have won MORE UNEMPLOYMENT! Yeah! You have won MORE PARTISAN LEADERSHIP! Yeah! So, by all means, CELEBRATE! You have so much to be thankful for!

Tim Skubick’s column on whether Romney could have won if he hadn’t “veered right” elicited a few hundred comments, with many readers weighing in on both sides.

Reader 3sense avoided a partisan comment and instead offered a more general observation on campaign spending:

COULD HAVE, SHOULD HAVE, WOULD HAVE, it doesn't matter now. My thoughts on the whole thing is, all the money spent on this election on both sides could paid off a lot of our dept.

Thank goodness for House majority. Call them obstructionists if you will, but they are the only thing standing between obama and his agenda. Incidentally, $2,000,000,000 spent in elections, tons of negative ads, robocalls, and all the back and forth arguing, and we are in exactly the same spot we were a year ago. For the liberals, it's a victory. For the rest, it's status quo.

Several commenters shared their disgust with Michigan House Speaker Jase Bolger retaining his seat in light of an election scandal. A one-person grand jury is investigating his involvement in Rep. Roy Schmidt's party switch and work to install a phony candidate to run against him.

It may be difficult for him to fulfill his duties of office from prision!!! With any luck at all, that's where this slimeball will end up!! At the VERY LEAST, at least his buddy and co-defendant was kicked out of office. I need to go take a shower now, I feel as slimy as these two are just by thinking about them.

The defeat of Michigan's six ballot proposals also garnered a lot of attention:

I am so glad these ads will be gone! No more listening to the lies. All I know is so many people were so confused on these props. We had way to many don't listen to them ads...listen to me...that people frankly gave up and just voted NO on everything!

Gov. Rick Snyder and many other political leaders and business groups urged a "no" vote on Proposals 2-6, which were all constitutional amendments. They wanted a "yes" vote on Proposal 1 to keep the emergency manager law in place.

Reader jacksondm thinks that ads against the constitutional amendments may have swayed people against Proposal 1 as well, even though it didn't amend the constitution.

I suspect the ads which touted, "I'm voting NO on all of 'em" -- but didn't distinguish between the law referendum (Prop 1) and the Constitutional Amendments (2-6) had some impact on the fate of Proposal 1.
